Daytrips

Anyone with young kids here knows Playmobil!  There just so happens to be an awesome  Playmobil Fun Park about 30 min away and cost 10 Euro ($13) per person to get in.  It's basically a spider web of linked "Playmo" themed playgrounds with life-sized figures.  The kids absolutely LOVED it.  We weren't sure if Serena at 10 would be too old for this but that concern was unfounded - lots of tweens were there enjoying the day. 

One of the highlights was this fantastic area with huge oysters and kids had 5 min to harvest the "treasures" which were little sea creatures.  We could have stayed in that area for hours. 

As we had noticed at other amusement parks, parents are kind of casual about supervising their kids.  Every 10 minutes or so all day long, an announcement would come over the PA that little Steffi was looking for her Mutti.  Tons of kids (and their parents) were walking around barefoot although it isn't a swimming Noah's Ark type park.  Some kids were wearing swim suits but, interestingly, many of the little girls (even 8 or 9 yr old) only had bottoms on.  When the parents packed the cute little bottoms, why not pack the matching cute little top? Am I too American?

Court is in session!

Clean, uncrowded and fun:The verdict is unanimous - We'll definitely come again!

My favorite spot?  A shaded bench....
